The Chester Creek Branch railroad line ran from Lamokin Street in Chester, Pennsylvania to Lenni in Middletown Township, until 1971. It was operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), and later by Penn Central. The branch diverged from the Northeast Corridor main line near the now-defunct SEPTA Lamokin Street Station. For most of its length, the branch paralleled Chester Creek. At Lenni, the branch merged with the West Chester Branch.

Famous quotes containing the words creek and/or branch:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What can the dove of Jesus give
You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
